3. Connect and tighten battery cables. (See Figure 2)
4. Connect battery cables. Be sure to observe polarity. (See Figure 2)
5. Charge batteries using the quick disconnect provided. Leave the top cover open while charging to prevent
build up of explosive gases generated during the charging process. Refer to the charging instructions
provided in the manual and on the charging unit being used.
6. For safety, do not operate until you have read the safety precautions and operation instructions in the
manual.

Lead acid batteries generate gases which can cause an explosion. Make sure the switch on the charger is in the
“OFF” position before connecting or disconnecting the charger. If no switch is provided, unplug the charger before
making connections to the batteries. Keep sparks and flame away from batteries. NO SMOKING. Charge the
batteries only in an area with good ventilation and leave the top cover open while charging.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause burns to exposed skin or eyes. To prevent injury, wear protective
clothing and safety glasses when working on batteries. In the event that acid comes in contact with skin or eyes,
